All scheduling conflicts have been carefully worked out in advance by our Fine Arts Department. While we understand the desire for flexibility in the presentation times, the size of OYM Fine Arts makes it unfeasible to accommodate specific scheduling requests.
Participants are expected to be available for the full duration of the event. Requests for changes cannot be guaranteed and will only be considered in cases of extenuating circumstances. Trading performance times is not permitted unless approved by the Fine Arts team.
Thank You.
